Meh, too early to 'jump ship', imo.
Its' only Day 1 for alot of folks... who thought it was all Fake News until this evening.
It probably hasn't sunk in yet.
The thought crossed my mind since I read he can bring on his own staff. I would pay money to see this happen. Heads would EXPLODE.
All FBI directors are republican
He should.
Because Preet has extensive knowledge of the 'money side' of things. THAT would be a good indication of where everything is heading.

So does Mueller..Look at his bio, he spent much time doing financial and white collar crime
He's straight
^^ Agreed.
But I meant the specific 'money side' of the whole Trump/Russia connection... which Preet was investigating... right before he was fired by Trump.
Just means its a good law firm....and you don't know what the firm handled for them.
You'd be surprised to see who Sidley Austin had as clients when Michelle worked there
^^ Agreed.

He should hire him and Angela Rye and Michael Moore..

LOL I'd pay money to see Eric Holder on the team. I know it's not going to happen though.
Smh
Link to Written Transcript of Paul Ryan Audio..
Why do I get the feeling that everywhere it says **unintelligble**... the audio version that the FBI has is probably 'crystal clear'... so the Newspaper just published as much as they can without 'Going FULL HAM'.
Or is it just my imagination?

I read he resigned from that position to take the special counsel job. Not that it matters IF he wanted to be corrupt as he can always go back, but it seems like he is trying to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest AND not making his law firm come under pressure from the Trumps if they were so inclined to apply it.

The Wall Street Journal Just Dropped A Major Kushner-Russia Bombshell

As the Trump/Russia investigation heats up, it’s important to keep track of the shady underpinnings gurgling away beneath the entire sordid affair. At this point, the Gordian Knot of Trump’s tangled Russian relationships can only be severed through Impeachment and expulsion from the White House. That said, each new detail is another piece of evidence that can be pinned to Trump when his day of judiciary judgment comes.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the Russian bank that Jared Kushner – Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor – met with in secret helped to pay for the Toronto Trump International Hotel and Tower.
The bank, Vnesheconombank (VEB), previously made news for its connections to Russian spy agencies. On top of that, at one point Vladimir Putin served as Chairmen of the bank’s Supervisory Board. VEB was also the target of sanctions under the Obama Administration in retaliation for Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea.
Kushner met with the bank’s CEO back in December and failed to disclose the meeting at the time. Now, it’s become clear why. The WSJ has revealed that VEB bought $850 million of stock in a Ukrainian steelmaker from Alexander Scnaider, the man responsible for building the Trump property. Scnaider had originally purchased the stock for a relatively paltry $70 million. The massive sale, which was approved during Putin’s tenure at VEB, was in turn used to finance the Toronto Trump Tower.
During an interview in April, a lawyer for Scnaider confirmed the financing deal, saying it amounted to $15 million pumped into Trump Tower. The next day – perhaps after urging from Russian officials – he recanted and said he couldn’t confirm that any money went to the Trump property.
The pipeline here is clear. VEB gave money to Scnaider, who turned around and invested the money in the Trump property. As far as Russian dark money goes, this a fairly simple and easy-to-follow transaction. It’s clear evidence that VEB, and by association Putin, has heavily supported Trump endeavors in the past.
If more evidence of Russian funneling of money to Trump is exposed in the future, it will look like this, funds moved through different companies to hide the source. The FBI’s investigation into Trump/Russia money laundering is likely to lead to similar stories.
They say he need to go after them Tax Returns too
Lol
Michael is talking
You know...
there is a lot of good things coming out of this.
SNL is actually funny again
and the press after being called fake news, disrespected, cancelling the correspondents dinner and basically stopping all press briefings...
Trump has actually REJUVENATED the press to be REAL JOURNALISTS again
